2012 Favorite Classic Movie Actress Tournament: 1950's Era - Round 1 (Sophisticates and Drama Queens)

Welcome to the first round of the tourney. Here are the scheduled matches for the two groups starting Monday morning. Voting will end on Wednesday night and then the other two groups (Funny Ladies/Girls Next Door and Singers/dancers will kick off). The polls will be on the right hand side bar. One vote per match. Let's have some fun. And I will post the other two categories matches probably on Tuesday.
